Waterfront Graphic Design: A Designer Who Cares About the Community
“Amy really listened. She didn’t try to sell me anything, and she was very humble. She’s good at what she does. Anytime I had a problem, Amy was quick to fix it.”
– Dana Fehrenbach, owner of D Marie Knit and Fiber
Ecommerce Site Up Just in Time for Shutdown, Over $10,000 in Sales During Closed Physical Store
Dana said she was thrilled with how quickly Amy built the e-commerce website.
“Amy understood there was a real need for me to get my site up because my physical knitting shop was shut down,” Dana said. “Without Amy, I would have had an $800-a-month warehouse for my shop. Amy helped me set up pick-up locations and shipping capabilities through my website, so I could still sell my product even when my store was closed.”
Thousands of dollars’ worth of yarn sat in Dana’s basement, and Amy helped her market and sell it on the store’s website. Throughout April, with a combination of website and retail sales, Dana sold $12,000 of that yarn, which kept her business afloat. Today she continues to put discounted items from the shop on the website.
“Because of Amy’s design work, my marketing efforts are now more connected,” Dana said. “I list knitting patterns on an international site, and Amy linked them to my site. The amount I paid for Amy’s services was worth it. I’ve recommended Amy to many people who’ve seen my website and commented on how good it looks.”
